regenerative economy Lab presents 

ready to act

Next cohort starts 2 June 2026

What Past participants say

“"The classes were positive, inspiring, thoughtful, really well constructed and pitched just right. I loved the chance to learn from the other attendees and from the community talks too - so inspiring seeing this work in real life."

— Sagal Abshir, Senior Security Advisor, Cohort #2

“If you want to deeply understand how our economic system shapes EVERYTHING, including your identity and the limitations to what you see as possible (we all have them) AND if you want to build friendships with people who are already working to build a new culture and a new economy (they go hand in hand) I highly recommend this course!

— Heather Thomas, Founder, Cohort #2

“I highly recommend the course to anyone interested in widening their perspective and deepening their knowledge on economics. After the course I grasped much more the incoherence of neoliberal economics practised/imposed globally and portrayed widely in media. The course equipped with me with a great set of tools and insights to start acting on regenerative projects of my own.

— Hazel Marcks, B2B Marketing Specialist, Cohort #1
